    I think I know the answer to this question but I just wanted to confirm.

    Does a screener result/criteria have to be a positive integer or is there a way to use ASCII characters or anything like that?

    I was trying to return integers prefixed with a minus sign for a short signal and no minus sign for a buy signal but noticed I wasn’t getting any short signals, hence my question.

    Any tips on how to differentiate long v short clearly would be appreciated.

    Thanks

    I think I figured out my logic problem but would still welcome any tips!

    ProScreener does require positive integers, you can use 1 for Long and 2 for short (or whatever else you prefer).

    PRT does not support alphanumeric data type.

    Sorting criteria doesn’t have to be a positive integer.

    For example:

    SCREENER [signal](signal AS "1=↑/-1=↓")
